correct me if I'm wrong, but the DEMs and libertals are not the same circle in the Ven diagram.

I am an asshole in two ways: Type 1 is to people who I am actually pretty friendly with- it's our little fun! Type 2 is to people towards whom I wish to be seen as being an asshole. See?

There's certainly a great deal of overlap. It's a big tent.

As for the liberals outside the Dems, I mean c'mon - how much more marginalized can you be?

Polosi = liberal
Dean = non-liberal
Kennedy = liberal
Lieberman = non-liberal
Kerrey = liberal
Breaux = non-liberal

Need more examples?

Actually, I'd like your definition of liberal before moving forward. I'm still not clear on what you think of as "liberal."

Man, I thought the endless SS talk was getting boring. Now Club wants to channel Not Me and have the "liberals don't criticize liberals, but conservatives and Republicans, in their boundless purity and intellectual honesty, always stand ready to criticize their own" discussion.

If I start puking now, will Medicare cover me?

For those who were wondering why they didn't air that GoDaddy.com ad again on Sunday, it looks like they pulled it during the Super Bowl (maybe that explains why we saw the stupid Mustang ad twice on two consecutive breaks).


http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?cid=3...Super_Bowl_Ads


Now, can someone explain to me how a woman in a tank top is obscene -- as in, subject to fines, a threat to family values, and enough to throw Focus on the Family into a sputtering fit -- but the average, much more revealing cheerleader costume is not?

Maybe it's because the woman in the ad had such a profoundly great rack, but I don't think so.

I think that I am mainly correct when I say that most proctologists would agree that an asshole is an asshole. Some are just more bloody or inflamed than others.

You made that leap, Not Me.

I was appalled by the open endorsement of illegal drug use during the halftime show. Though, perhaps a reasonable construction was that Paul wanted Jo-Jo to go back to Tuscon and stop smoking that California grass. Or that Jo-Jo was getting some zoysia (sp?) for his lawn.

Here's my start of a self-test - others are free to join in:

1. Do you value groups over individuals?

2. Do you believe in moral or cultural relativism?

3. Do you think religion is for the stupid and/or naieve?

4. Do you think economic equality is not only desirable, but is also doable?

5. Do you think that the government should make decisions on behalf of the "common good"?

Fascinating. I just learned that I'm not a liberal.

Hey, Slave -- let's have a party! You bring Ann, I'll bring the strap-on.

By your definition, I am not a liberal.
